    Nice to see Ban's Windblade design finally coming to fruition.

    She looks absolutely Stunning.

    I'd Love to see his version of Arcee get the same Treatment.

    The designs are an artistic site to behold.

    Oh for sure!

    He has a good eye for making realistically proportioned Robot characters while making them look sensual and natural at the same time.

    OF course he's more known for the other sorts of Manga art. But that's neither here nor there. He's just a gifted dude all around. So it's really nice to see his contributions to the Transformers franchise being noticed enough to get a Model Kit made.

    It also shows that both Takara and Hasbro are willing to take a chance and extend the franchise to not just kids but all ages and interests.

    Bravo to them.

    Dang that windblade is somehow less inspired than the doujinshi grade concept art. there's gonna have to be a lot more plastic in the box to sink 35+ usd into it. The beast convoys on the other hand are something i am very much looking forward to...

    you guys also have to remember that Hasbro has final say so this windblade could've also not left her prototype stage at all

    Not that I was ever going to get it, but I’d be pretty annoyed if online heckling got Hasbro or Flame Toys to can the model. That’s just sad.

    Hmmmm,

    No wonder why my retweets aren't showing up. sigh.

    Welp. looks like all the Windblade photos will be removed from here now since she'll be Taboo like BFB Ex-01 Nicee.

    Thats a shame.

    I'll be sorely disappointed if this results in Windblade getting cancelled.

    I don’t see how this Windblade is any worse than the recent figure-rise girls tbh . Hope it doesn’t get cancelled.

    Maybe I'm alone in my thinking, but if they were to change Windblade to make her accurate to her original IDW look, I'd pass. I guess part of the charm of this kit is that it doesn't look like it transforms. Once they give her proper kibble my thinking changes to "this is a transformer that doesn't transform." The nonfunctioning kibble becomes an insult in a way.

    The main reason i was going to get her was because she was an original design
    I love the overall windblade character design and this was a unique take on her with the short wings
